This design for a stained glass window, created by John Gregory Crace between 1825 and 1900, features a central circular motif of a mermaid and a crown surrounded by floral and maritime details. Crace, a prominent English architect and designer, was known for his work in the Gothic Revival style, which is evident in the intricate details and the use of natural motifs. The design is currently held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and it provides a fascinating glimpse into Crace's creative process and his vision for stained glass design.
